Update

Sorry I've been really bad about keeping this updated. There has been a lot going on in my life lately. For a while there, I was working two jobs, one at the restaurant, and one at the copy center. Well, over 4th of July weekend I received a phone call saying that the restaurant was not opening back up. So, I took on the copy center full time. That transition has led me to working a whole variety of hours, so I don't really feel like I had the same routine that I had before. I am also studying for the GRE, which I am going to take on July 29th; I wanted to get it out of the way before I went to LA in August, and then I will work on the application process between the August wedding and the September wedding. Things have been busy, and I haven't been able to concentrate on the training for this as much as I had wanted to. Plus, we aren't really getting summer nights here...it's still hot at night. It's made sleeping difficult, and I am even sleeping under an open window with the ceiling fan going full blast. I haven't had as much energy as I would have liked. I think this means I will get back to going to the gym after work. If nothing else, it's air conditioned. I just don't feel right taking the dogs out for long walks in this heat. I do plan on waking up early on Thursday morning and taking Skylar for a hike, that will be fun. Not sure where yet though.

Currently I have raised $1250 so far. I am only $550 away from the limit set by Avon, and I am half way to my goal. I have contacted a few more people, but really most of my fundraising attempts have been put on the back burner for now. I am hoping my trip to LA will help out with donations.
